I’m reading a non-fiction book right that’s good, but a little uninspiring for a Teaser Tuesday post. So instead I’m going to post a teaser from a poem in the poetry book I’m currently reading now – Picnic, Lightning by Billy Collins.
This is the best –
throwing off the light covers,
feet on the cold floor,
and buzzing around the house on espresso,
dictionary and atlas open on the rug,
the typewriter waiting for the key of the head,
a cello on the radio
-From the poem “Morning” by Billy Collins

Teaser Tuesdays is a fun weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. I change the rules a little bit to suit my own purposes: I hand pick the teaser, rather than choose one randomly. I also very frequently post more than two sentences. :)
Sounds lovely, great teaser & poem! :) Here´s mine:

I found a recording of Billy Collins reading his poetry at the library the other day. I’m saving it for a day when I need it. :)
Nice poem! Evokes the feeling of morning beautifully!
